Inspiration

It was really good to read and learn from my fellow students as I am SO unsure as to what to develop for my e-learning activity. Maybe I am overcomplicating it by thinking too much about the platform rather than the content/learning outcomes. All of the possibilities mentioned by Taka, Dianne and Rhoda sounds promising. They actually use videos of activities for both instruction and students demonstrating skills regularly in the UK specialist training programs. Aspiring specialists must for instance record patient encounters to demonstrate competencies, so Diane, your idea could work for both instruction and evaluation. It may also be useful for the students themselves to look at their performance and learn from that. We have started a GG chat room on whatsapp this week (the ward where I work), and doctors and consultants use it to post information/Xrays/skin rashes etc, but also to ask for advice from the group. It has been working quite well as you could advise via whatsapp, and share interesting resources as well. So this could work if structured a bit more formal. I'm thinking more of a flipped class room approach. We spend in our clinical rotations too much time sharing information instead of helping students with the integration of knowledge. Still undecided though and the reading continues... Please keep posting, I'm learning. Have a wonderful rest of the week. L
